Online detection of movement during natural and self-initiated reach-and-grasp actions from EEG signals.

Movement intention detection using electroencephalography (EEG) is a challenging but essential component of brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) for people with motor disabilities.The goal of this study is to develop a new experimental paradigm to perform asynchronous online detection of movement based on low-frequency time-domain EEG features, concretely on movement-related cortical potentials. The paradigm must be easily transferable to people without any residual upper-limb movement function and the BCI must be independent of upper-limb movement onset measurements and external cues.

Decoding hand movements from human EEG to control a robotic arm in a simulation environment.

Objective: Daily life tasks can become a significant challenge for motor impaired persons. Depending on the severity of their impairment, they require more complex solutions to retain an independent life. Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) are targeted to provide an intuitive form of control for advanced assistive devices such as robotic arms or neuroprostheses.

Applying intuitive EEG-controlled grasp neuroprostheses in individuals with spinal cord injury: Preliminary results from the MoreGrasp clinical feasibility study.

The aim of the MoreGrasp project is to develop a non-invasive, multimodal user interface including a brain-computer interface (BCI) for control of a grasp neuroprostheses in individuals with high spinal cord injury (SCI). The first results of the ongoing MoreGrasp clinical feasibility study involving end users with SCI are presented. This includes BCI screening sessions, in which we investigate the electroencephalography (EEG) patterns associated with single, natural movements of the upper limb.

Attempted Arm and Hand Movements can be Decoded from Low-Frequency EEG from Persons with Spinal Cord Injury.

We show that persons with spinal cord injury (SCI) retain decodable neural correlates of attempted arm and hand movements. We investigated hand open, palmar grasp, lateral grasp, pronation, and supination in 10 persons with cervical SCI. Discriminative movement information was provided by the time-domain of low-frequency electroencephalography (EEG) signals.

Does Gender Have Prognostic Value Among Patients with Myocardial Infarction? Analysis of the Data from the Hungarian Myocardial Infarction Registry.

The authors analyzed data from the Hungarian Myocardial Infarction Registry (HUMIR) to examine the potential impact of gender on the treatment and 30-day and 1-year mortality of patients with myocardial infarction (MI). The National Registry of Myocardial Infarction included 42,953 patients between January 1, 2013 and December 31, 2016; 19,875 of whom were diagnosed with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and 23,078 with non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI). The proportion of women was 39% and 41.

[Prognostic significance of the total ischemic time in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction].

Introduction: The significance of the total ischemic time (from the beginning of the complaint to the opening of the vessel) is an important factor for myocardial salvage.

Aim: The aim of the study was to determine the prognostic significance of the TIT in patients with ST elevation myocardial infarction in Hungary.

Method: From 1 January 2014 all patients with myocardial infarction were recorded by law in an on-line database of the Hungarian Myocardial Infarction Registry.

Comparison of Platelet Function Guided Versus Unguided Treatment With P2Y12 Inhibitors in Patients With Acute Myocardial Infarction (from the Hungarian Myocardial Infarction Registry).

Evidence is conflicting regarding the clinical benefits of selecting P2Y inhibitors based on platelet function testing (PFT). Between March 1, 2013 and March 1, 2014, we collected clinical characteristics and platelet function data in a nationwide acute myocardial infarction (AMI) registry from 15 interventional cardiology centers in Hungary. The risk of all-cause mortality at 1 year were compared after propensity score (PS) matching between patients receiving PFT-guided and unguided P2Y-inhibitor therapies.

[The significance of ECG recorded at hospitalization in determining the prognosis of patients treated with myocardial infarction].

Introduction And Aim: By using the database of the National Registry of Myocardial Infarction, the authors examine the prognosis of patients treated with acute myocardial infarction, in case of whom there was new or presumably new left bundle branch block (nLBBB) on the ECG recorded at hospitalization.

Method: We recorded the details of 18 091 patients treated with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) between 1 January 2014 and 30 June 2015 in the National Registry of Myocardial Infarction. In case of 8334 patients, the clinical diagnosis was ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), whereas in 9757 cases it was non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI).

Decoding natural reach-and-grasp actions from human EEG.

Objective: Despite the high number of degrees of freedom of the human hand, most actions of daily life can be executed incorporating only palmar, pincer and lateral grasp. In this study we attempt to discriminate these three different executed reach-and-grasp actions utilizing their EEG neural correlates.

Approach: In a cue-guided experiment, 15 healthy individuals were asked to perform these actions using daily life objects.

Upper limb movements can be decoded from the time-domain of low-frequency EEG.

How neural correlates of movements are represented in the human brain is of ongoing interest and has been researched with invasive and non-invasive methods. In this study, we analyzed the encoding of single upper limb movements in the time-domain of low-frequency electroencephalography (EEG) signals. Fifteen healthy subjects executed and imagined six different sustained upper limb movements.

[Adherence to medication after myocardial infarction and its impact on outcome: a registry-based analysis from the Hungarian Myocardial Infarction Registry].

Introduction And Aim: The aim was to study the patients' adherence to some evidence-based medication (statins, beta blockers, platelet and RAS inhibitors) after suffering a myocardial infarction, and its impact on the outcome.

Method: Retrospective observational cohort study was carried out from the data of the Hungarian Myocardial Infarction Registry between January 1, 2013, and December 31, 2014. 14,843 patients were alive at the end of hospital treatment, from them, those who had no myocardial infarction or death until 180 days were followed for one year.

EEG neural correlates of goal-directed movement intention.

Using low-frequency time-domain electroencephalographic (EEG) signals we show, for the same type of upper limb movement, that goal-directed movements have different neural correlates than movements without a particular goal. In a reach-and-touch task, we explored the differences in the movement-related cortical potentials (MRCPs) between goal-directed and non-goal-directed movements. We evaluated if the detection of movement intention was influenced by the goal-directedness of the movement.

[Patient care of patients with myocardial infarction in Hungary. Analysis of National Myocardial Infarction Registry data collecting in 2015].

From classic motor imagery to complex movement intention decoding: The noninvasive Graz-BCI approach.

In this chapter, we give an overview of the Graz-BCI research, from the classic motor imagery detection to complex movement intentions decoding. We start by describing the classic motor imagery approach, its application in tetraplegic end users, and the significant improvements achieved using coadaptive brain-computer interfaces (BCIs). These strategies have the drawback of not mirroring the way one plans a movement.

[Prognostic significance of the culprit vessel in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction treated with primary coronary intervention].

Introduction: To the best of the authors' knowledge, very few publications are available which report on the prognostic significance of the culprit vessel in patients with ST elevation myocardial infarction treated with successful primary percutaneous coronary intervention.

Aim: The aim of the authors was to obtain data on the significance of the culprit vessel in patients with ST elevation myocardial infarction treated successfully by primary percutaneous coronary intervention.

Method: The authors performed a retrospective study in 10,763 patients with ST elevation myocardial infarction who underwent successful primary percutaneous coronary intervention.

Underuse of coronary intervention and its impact on mortality in the elderly with myocardial infarction. A propensity-matched analysis from the Hungarian Myocardial Infarction Registry.

Background: Data are limited on the real-life use of coronary intervention (PCI) and on its long-term efficacy and safety in elderly patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI).

Methods: Data from a nation-wide registry of patients treated due to an AMI event in centers of invasive cardiology were analyzed for the potential interaction of age on the utilization of invasive therapy and outcome. Follow-up data of consecutive patients between March 1, 2013, and March 1, 2014 were analyzed.

[Treatment of patients with myocardial infarction in Hungary on the basis of available health data].

The authors review data sources related to death arising from myocardial infarction, as well as the major elements of the Hungarian data collection of the Central Statistical Office, the National Health Insurance Fund and the National Registry of Myocardial Infarction. They also discuss conclusions which can be drawn from the data. It was found that the financial database - in accordance with its purpose - is suitable for monitoring the costs arising during the treatment of patient, but the quality and efficiency of treatment cannot be judged on the basis of this database.

Goal-directed or aimless? EEG differences during the preparation of a reach-and-touch task.

The natural control of neuroprostheses is currently a challenge in both rehabilitation engineering and brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) research. One of the recurrent problems is to know exactly when to activate such devices. For the execution of the most common activities of daily living, these devices only need to be active when in the presence of a goal.

Movement target decoding from EEG and the corresponding discriminative sources: A preliminary study.

Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) can detect movement imaginations (MI) which can act as a control signal for a neuroprosthesis of a paralyzed person. However, today's non-invasive BCIs can only detect simply qualities of MI, like what body part is subjected to MI. More advanced future non-invasive BCIs should be able to detect many qualities of MI to allow a natural control of a neuroprosthesis.

Using a noninvasive decoding method to classify rhythmic movement imaginations of the arm in two planes.

A brain-computer interface (BCI) can help to overcome movement deficits in persons with spinal-cord injury. Ideally, such a BCI detects detailed movement imaginations, i.e.
